A match that threatened to be a boring one half-way through sprung into life and ended under darkness. Australia have won their 5th Test in a row while for Sammy and his boys, it is back to the drawing board. The 2nd Test starts in Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain on Sunday. Do join us as the magic of Test cricket continues. For now, this is Pradeep signing off with Srivathsa, Sathya Velu and the rest of the commentary desk. Cheers and bye..

Harris: A great feeling, I never thought that I could edge into this side after the injury in the summer as our bowling unit did superbly in the home season. We had a set target when we went into bat and it was good that we managed to score 150 runs amongst ourselves. The training staff have been great, they have managed our workloads superbly. It was dark when I went into bat in the 2nd dig, Kemar was bowling superbly and I am glad we snuck over the line in the end. Looking forward to the rest of the Tests.

Ryan Harris is the MoM

Clarke: Fantastic result, we have some fond memories of this ground and it is great to end up with a win. Credit to our batsmen in the 1st innings and our bowlers in the 2nd. Our bowlers are very good as batsmen, they have served us very well. I think it was a great wicket, there was some up and down bounce, but played really well. The support was superb from our countrymen and we will look to do well in the 2nd Test

Sammy: We had our opportunities but did not capitalise. Credit to Australia for fighting back. We have two Tests to go and we will look to comeback. I thought we dominated the first three days but allowed them back into the match. We are improving all the time, we have played against some tough oppositions and only the end results needs to be shown. We just had one bad session and that cost us. There are some positives from this match and we will look forward to the 2nd Test.

West Indies will reflect upon this Test and rue some of their mistakes. They batted superbly and had Australia 7 down with 200 runs behind at one stage. Things then went pear shaped as they allowed Australia to come close to the first innings total. A bold declaration caught West Indies off guard and they slumped to 17/4 in the second innings. They never recovered from it and were bowled out for 148, a lead of 191 runs. Watson led the response well but was lucky when Sammy dropped him when he was in single digits. Deonarine brought his team back into the hunt with 4 quick wickets but Hussey stayed firm to etch a remarkable but tense victory in the end.

Sammy looks gutted as he walks back. This is yet another lost opportunity for the West Indies after being in the ascendency for a major part of the Test. Australia are chuffed as they enjoy the moment. Ponting looks like a satisfied man, this might well be his last visit to the famed Kensington Oval as a player. The Aussies in the crowd are thrilled to bits as their team make a lap of honor across the ground.

Join us at 12:55 local time (22:25 IST) for the chase.

Ponting is having a look at the ball with the umpires. Jeff Lawson isn't happy with Punter's tactics. He feels that since he is no longer the captain, he should stay away from this.

When a test match is on the line, that was atrocious batting by Fidel Edwards. In fact I jinxed him when I said that the batsmen were playing well. It went right off the toe end. Ottis Gibson the WI coach doesn't seem to be too thrilled with that shot. Remember Damien Martyn? He was dropped from the Aussie side for nearly 5 years for playing a loose shot which cost his side the Sydney test against South Africa in 1994.

57.4

Fidel Edwards, right handed bat, comes to the crease

50.5

Hilfenhaus to Baugh, FOUR, edged and four, short of a length delivery outside off, Baugh looks to dab it behind point, gets a thick edge that goes well wide of a diving Wade. Clarke at 1st slip was pretty wide, the ball races away to the fence in a jiffy

49.4

Shane Watson to Sammy, out Bowled!! What an unlucky way to get out and Lyon will be the most relieved man on the field. Sammy kicking it back onto his stumps. Sammy defended it, it went between his legs and would've stayed there, but the WI skipper sensed that it was trickling back and tried to prevent that, what he eventually did was to kick it back onto the stumps. Australia won't mind that. Shane Watson has broken through and that will now put immense pressure on the lower order. Sammy b Shane Watson 14(34) [4s-2]

The players are out in the middle, we are set for the start of another absorbing session of play

Pitch Report: The footmarks has been repaired near the crease, the rough has just got a bit wider, but that should not trouble the batsmen too much. The cracks are getting wider and irregular, they will come into play as the day wears on, reckons Geoff Lawson.

Ryan Harris: It was nice to score some runs, but we need to win this test. The declaration was spot on and the bowlers did the job. We need to get the lines right and get some early wickets. Shiv was a big wicket, he could have batted us out of this test, happy we will not need to contend with him today. We had a goal yesterday, to get around 150 runs. The tail needed to apply themselves and I felt we did well to reach the goal. I was hoping that Lyon would get a fifty, but he was not concerned with that. Our main aim was to get some wickets before Tea and Edwards was also bowling well. It will not be easy to bat on this wicket, we need to strike early and restrict them.

There will be 92 overs to be bowled for the day with play starting at 19:23 IST (9:53 local time) as tweeted by Digicel cricket

It is the final day of the first Test between West Indies and Australia. The match is in the balance with Australia holding a slight edge. Narsingh Deonarine fought well and will have to anchor this ship. He needs some support from the rest of the order if West Indies are to post something challenging. Australia will back themselves to chase anything around 200. One feels that the first session holds the key for the end result of this match. Stay tuned for further updates..

Australia are on top but West Indies are not completely out of the match as yet. The hosts lost the prize wickets of Chanderpaul and Bravo in this session but also extended the lead to 114 with 5 wickets in the bank. Australia will believe that they can edge ahead with a couple of early strikes tomorrow while a partnership will make the West Indies feel easy. Another action packed packed day beckons on the morrow. Do join us as play begins at 9:43 local time (19:13 IST). For now, cheers and bye..

Siddle to Deonarine, no run, loud appeal for LBW, pitched fractionally outside leg, this was a length delivery that thudded into Deonarine's pads even before he managed to bring his bat down, Siddle screeches and screeches, Umpire Gould says NO firmly. Fantastic decision from the English umpire, the Aussies wisely decide against a review

12.1

Siddle to Deonarine, no run, bad shot from Deonarine, short loosener from Siddle, Deonarine is stuck in his crease as he attempts a loose frail and misses

Loud appeal for a catch, the Aussies are confident, they ask for a review as Gould say NO. Very difficult indeed, there is no sound when the ball went past the gloves, no snicko or HOT-SPOT here. I reckon the benefit of doubt should be given to Bravo. Clarke got away with one such decision yesterday. The 3rd umpire is taking a long look at the replays which seem to be very inconclusive. NOT-OUT is the call

Ayaz Memon tweets: barbados Test headed for dramatic turnaround. Not for the first time, West Indies running out of steam after a few good days

What a dramatic final 10 minutes of the session, a Test that was going nowhere has suddenly sprung into life and it is Australia who hold all the aces. Hilfenhaus is the toast at the moment with figures of 3/2. Superb declaration by Clarke and the West Indies have been caught unawares by the tactical move. A lot will depend yet again on Shiv Chanderpaul as the hosts look to fightback into the match. They started the day as firm favorites to win the match and are now looking down the barrel. Test cricket at its best. Join us in a short while for the final session.

4.2

Hilfenhaus to Kirk Edwards, out Lbw!! This is super stuff from Hilfenhaus, but not clever batting from West Indies. This was a good length delivery that nipped back in from off, Kirk Edwards was shuffling across a long way, misses and is struck flush low on the pads. The impact was on middle and leg and was going on to clip leg. Kirk Edwards lbw b Hilfenhaus 1(7)

Hilfenhaus to Kirk Edwards, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Kirk Edwards has been given out LBW, he wants a 2nd look. He was shuffling across a long way, this looks very close indeed. Hits him low on the pads, the leg-stump was visible. Umpire's call, Kirk Edwards is OUT

Shane Watson to Kirk Edwards, no run, short of good length nipping away from outside off, Kirk Edwards pushed at it with soft hands, the edge is found and it goes to the right of Ponting at 2nd slip. He lunges to his right one handed and nearly grabs a stunner. He was not sure though and asked it to be referred

Brilliant take from Ponting, he is not sure though. The 3rd umpire will have a look. The replays are very inconclusive, my gut feeling is that it is a neat catch, Kirk might get the benefit of doubt. Superb reflexes though from 38 year old Ponting. NOT-OUT is the call

3.1

Welcome back..

I do remember an instance in Delhi in 2000 when India declared their first innings closed after trailing by 36 runs against Zimbabwe. They went on to win that Test by 7 wickets after Zimbabwe faltered in the 2nd essay.

Ryan Harris and Nathan Lyon frustrated the Windies with a stubborn stand for the 10th wicket. What looked like a big lead for the Windies has whittled down to one of not much consequence. Australia might have caught Sammy & co. by surprise and sometimes it leads to some spectacular batting collapses. Australia will hope for one such today

Surprise, surprise. Australia have declared with a deficit of 43 runs. Positive declaration from Clarke, the deflated Windies will now have to pull up and dig deep in the second innings.

140.1

Fidel Edwards to Ryan Harris, no run, this was a good length delivery that nipped back in after pitching, Ryan Harris was shaping for the flick, seemed to be some bat on that before striking the flap of the pads, replays show that the ball was going well over the stumps, umpire Gould gets a decision wrong

Harris has been given out LBW, he has asked for a review, he was struck around middle, the height must be the only factor that can save him. Replays suggest some bat on that, the ball seemed to deflect on to the pads. Going over the top, Ryan Harris survives

Welcome back.. West Indies need to take the last wicket and score at a rapid pace if they are to attempt a win.

That ends an extended first session on Day 3. We have had 3 hours of cricket, how many times we see such occurances? It will be Australia who will have a smile on their faces at the end of the session. They scored 118/4 in the session and the momentum has shifted completely in favour of the visitors. The hosts made a strong start to the day's play dismissing Hussey and Siddle very early into the day. Wade resisted for his 28 but the end seemed to be nigh when he was dismissed. Ryan Harris had different ideas though as he scored his maiden Test fifty to prolong the agony for the hosts. He was helped by Hilfenhaus who breezed his way to 24 and later by Lyon who fought doggedly. The extra half an hour was also wasted as the last pair held firm. West Indies still lead by 83 runs but that lead is shrinking all the time. Do join us at 1:10 pm local time( 22:40 IST) for the resumption..

131.6

127.6

Devendra Bishoo to Ryan Harris, FOUR, Roach has had a long spell and that shows in his tired chase of that ball. Ryan Harris came down the track and completely miscued it, it went over cover and Roach running across from long off just ambled towards the ball. Baugh and Co. wanted him to prevent Ryan Harris from getting back on strike, the ball crosses the ropes. So another boundary for Rhino.

126.3

Fidel Edwards to Lyon, no run, cuts and gets a bottom edge to gully. Kirk stops it well

125.4

116.1

Fidel Edwards to Hilfenhaus, leg byes, 1 run, Bang on the badge! West Indies are bowling with real venom and this short delivery hits Hilfenhaus on the helmet.

Doesn't change his helmet and continues to bat on. Fidel Edwards is right on the money with these short ones

115.6

Roach to Ryan Harris, no run, hit on the arm. Nasty short delivery from Roach. Ryan Harris ducks under it ala Siddle and is pinged on the right hand.

115.5

114.2

Deep mid wicket has been put in place for the slog. Sammy is setting his field, which means there is a slight delay.

112.5

Fidel Edwards to Hilfenhaus, no run, how did that miss the stumps? A tough chance, but it has to go down as a dropped catch nevertheless. Hilfenhaus cleared his front leg and tried to hoick it to leg, got an inside edge that was dying on the diving Baugh, who got a hand to it and didn't manage to hang on. Would've been a great catch had he managed to take it. Hilfenhaus continues to ride his luck. Fidel's frustrations continue.

112.4

Fidel Edwards to Ryan Harris, 1 run, short ball down leg, Ryan Harris is cramped by the pace of the delivery, mistimed pull down to fine leg. There is a fumble down there by the fielder, they thought about the 2nd, but decide against it

110.2

Fidel Edwards to Hilfenhaus, FOUR, too short from Fidel Edwards, Hilfenhaus was waiting for it and clubs the pull over mid wicket. Looks at his bat after playing that, didn't come off the middle, but good enough to get a boundary. Clarke applauds from the dressing room

109.6

Fidel Edwards [19.0-3-48-1] is back into the attack

During the drinks break, Sammy was getting some treatment from the physio. Edwards to start off after the break. He too got some attention on his injured toe.

Sammy seems to be struggling. During the last over he was holding his back. Hope that it is nothing serious. The first one hour has certainly belonged to the West Indies. They struck twice with the new ball and have bowled well. Australia need as many runs as possible from the tail. Wade is the key for the Aussies.

Pitch Report: The cracks are widening a bit. The foot-marks are getting wider and will assist the spinners. There will be some uneven bounce and the bowlers will get some help from the pitch, reckons Geoff Lawson.

Hello, and a warm welcome to one and all for day 4 of the 1st Test between West Indies and Australia. The match is very well poised at the moment with West Indies holding a slight edge. The new ball is due and that may well decide the outcome of Australia's first innings.

West Indies keep their noses in front despite Australia all but ensuring that the hosts will need to bat again. Clarke has had a spectacular 2012 and he rescued his team with a gritty 73 while Mike Hussey has been an unremovable object to stay unbeaten on 47. Bishoo toiled hard without much success. The new ball should be taken first thing tomorrow as West Indies look for a handy first innings lead. Australia are known for their scrapping abilities and will have to show that if they are not to fall way behind. Join us tomorrow at 9:30 local time (19:00 IST) as the excitement continues. For now, this is Pradeep signing off along with Srivathsa and Sathya Velu. Cheers and Bye..

Roach to Michael Hussey, no run, good length delivery outside off and shaping away, left alone

42.4

Roach to Michael Hussey, FOUR, edgy four. This is full and angling across Mike, he stays rooted to his crease and aims an extravagant cover drive, gets a thick outside edge that evades the two men in gully and races away to the fence. It was in the air for a long time, nervy start from Michael Hussey

42.3

Roach to Michael Hussey, no run, short of a length delivery angling away from off, Michael Hussey drops his gloves and lets it go . Roach seems to be fired up

Michael Hussey, left handed bat, comes to the crease

42.2

Roach to Shane Watson, out Caught by Baugh!! Poor shot from Shane Watson. This is full and outside off, Shane Watson stays rooted in his crease and aims a flashy drive, gets a thick outside edge through to the keeper. A simple regulation catch for Baugh and West Indies could not have asked for a better start after lunch. Shane Watson c Baugh b Roach 39(80) [4s-5 6s-1]

Roach to Shane Watson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

42.1

Roach to Shane Watson, no run, good length delivery outside off, Shane Watson gets a stride forward and defends it towards the off-side

Welcome back.. The cricket has been gripping so far and the 2nd session promises more of the same

A gripping opening session that. Test cricket at it's best. After a couple of soporific days when it was mostly about attritional cricket, today the test has come to life. Sammy bowled a marathon 10 over spell and accounted for a couple of wickets. There was a run-out of Ponting and the DRS debate rearing it's head when Clarke was reprieved by Erasmus when he could have well been sent on his way. Amidst all this, there has been reverse swing for Edwards, spin and bounce for Bishoo who is starting to look really threatening and raw pace from Roach. Watson has looked good and will need to build a solid stand with Clarke for the Aussies to get out of trouble. Right now WI are in the box seat. Will the domination from the home side continue? Do join us shortly for the post lunch session to find out.

41.6

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, gets forward and drives it back to Devendra Bishoo. That will be lunch on day 3.

41.6

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no ball, backfoot no-ball. Devendra Bishoo cutting the return crease. So he will have to rebowl that one again. Good spot that by Tony Hill.

Last ball before lunch.

41.5

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, pushed through fuller and quicker, Michael Clarke jams it out

41.4

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, bat and pad close together and a solid forward defence

41.3

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, well played. Stayed low, Michael Clarke watched it all along and bent low to play it back

41.2

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, full and on off, Michael Clarke gets forward and defends

This will be the last over before lunch.

41.1

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, short and wide outside off, cut away to point

40.6

Deonarine to Shane Watson, no run, nearly another run-out. Shane Watson wasn't even watching at Michael Clarke who decided to run, he was halfway down - the throw from short third was poor to the bowler and Clarke made it back. Needed a strong flat throw. Deonarine isn't happy and flings the ball back to Baugh

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, 1 run, edged, but wide of Sammy at slip, went on the bounce and clearly didn't carry. They take a single to short third

37.3

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, no run, flatter and quicker on the stumps, defended off the backfoot

37.2

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, no run, now mistimes the cut, that one stayed low, Shane Watson nearly inside edged it back on

37.1

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, no run, Brute! Absolutely unplayable. Where did that come from? Looked like a regulation leggie, but it spat off the pitch like a Cobra after landing. Shane Watson did really well to drop his gloves as it spun across him, Sammy at slip dives to his left to stop it. Baugh was bamboozled as the ball bounced and turned. That should encourage Devendra Bishoo

36.6

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, no run, attempts the yorker, on off stump, Michael Clarke is good enough to keep it out

36.5

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, no run, hint of shape back in from a fuller length, on off stump, solidly defended right under his chin by Michael Clarke

36.4

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, no run, comes on the frontfoot and pushes it to cover

Clarke review: There was no sufficient evidence to overturn the decision. I'm not sure what Erasmus saw there to overturn the original call. We saw a couple of incidents with the DRS in the England Sri Lanka test series. Without Hot-Spot or Snicko it is impossible to detect fine edges. Maybe Erasmus went by what he saw on the replays which were inconclusive. DRS and mistakes - go hand in hand. The debate rages on.

36.2

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, no run, good yorker on the stumps, Michael Clarke digs it out well

36.1

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, no run, tight delivery on off stump, Michael Clarke shows the full face of the bat and defends

35.6

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, no run, brilliant ball to end a super over. Beats Shane Watson on the forward defence with a perfect leg break. That nearly took the outside edge

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, flat and on the stumps, Michael Clarke goes on the backfoot to defend

35.3

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, fraction short outside off, cut to point

35.2

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, turned to mid wicket

35.1

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, skidder that went low, Michael Clarke seemed to have bottom edged the pull, there was a sound as well. Erasmus must have seen something to change his decision. The DRS debate continues to rumble on. This won't be the last we will hear about the decision

Michael Clarke has been given out caught behind. Instantaneously, Clarke opts for the 'T' sign. Review time. Baugh was up in a flash. No-ball is fine. Clarke was shaping to pull and seems to have bottom edged it. There is a sound. Brilliant take by Baugh, that went really low. Erasmus is the man who has to make the decision. Both parties are really confident. Erasmus taking his time. Tony Hill is talking to Erasmus. Clarke is standing there, waiting for the decision. He seems confident. No Hot-spot. No Snicko as well. There has to be sufficient evidence to overturn the decision. The decision is not-out. Tony Hill reverses his decision. WI can't believe it. Ottis Gibson and Sammy are perplexed.

34.6

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, is on the frontfoot and punches to cover

34.5

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, 1 run, full and on leg stump, Michael Clarke closes the face of the bat to flick it to deep square leg

34.1

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, no run, back of a length and on off, Michael Clarke defends it and there is a loud shout of 'wait on'

33.6

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, 1 run, immediately shortens his length and Michael Clarke shows he can play off the backfoot too, cutting it to sweeper cover

33.5

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, SIX, that's Michael Clarke at his best. He is one of the best players of spin and the best at the moment when using the feet. Sees the flight, is out in a flash and then just lifts it over the long on fence. Didn't get to the pitch, but ensured that he went through with the shot. Bishoo is a bit perplexed after that

33.4

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, good bowling, Devendra Bishoo keeps Michael Clarke on the frontfoot, who blocks

33.3

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, takes a step out and then whips it to mid on

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, 1 run, shortish outside off, Shane Watson rocks back and pushes wide of point for an easy single

32.6

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, 1 run, definite reverse now. Curving in with the shiny side, Shane Watson falls over and only an inside edge onto the pads saves him. Fidel Edwards thought he had his man. A single behind square

32.5

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, back of a length on the stumps, Shane Watson rocks back to defend

32.4

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, full on off stump, Shane Watson covers everything and defends solidly

32.3

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, sliding down leg, Shane Watson doesn't flick it away, would've been going well down

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, hint of reverse. This one curved back in nicely from a fuller length, Shane Watson drove off the inside half to mid on. No timing at all on that shot

31.6

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, Michael Clarke comes down the track and then has to bat pad it towards that fielder. Lots of oohs and aahs from the West Indians

A silly mid off straight in Michael Clarke's face is in now

31.5

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, gets forward and defends

31.4

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, lovely delivery, drew Michael Clarke forward with a conventional leggie, then spun away to beat the bat as Clarke was lunging forward. Baugh was super quick in whipping the bails off, Clarke got his foot back in though

Has Michael Clarke's foot come out of the crease? No. It has been referred to the third ump for a stumping appeal. Clarke is back in.

31.3

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, FOUR, extra bounce and Michael Clarke didn't control the cut. Looped off the top edge and even though there were loud calls from the West Indians for a catch, it went well wide of point. Devendra Bishoo has his hands on his head. Clarke didn't expect that ball to bounce so high on him, that led to his mistiming of the shot

31.2

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, forcefully driven, but straight to the fielder at mid off

31.1

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, full on the stumps, Michael Clarke gets forward to defend

30.6

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, disappointing over from Fidel Edwards comes to an end. Full and down leg. Baugh dives to his left to stop

30.5

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, FOUR, this time Kirk is just a spectator at gully. Shane Watson is an expert at playing the late dabs and chops between the slips and the gully. Here he angles the bat and almost plays it after it's past him. Late cut well wide of the man in the gully and the absence of the third man means that he will get a boundary

30.4

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, full and drawing Shane Watson onto the frontfoot, Watto gets forward to defend

30.3

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, Kirk at gully makes a diving stop to his left at gully. Saved some runs again. Shane Watson chopped it well and if Kirk hadn't got across, Watto would've got a boundary

30.2

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, stifled shout for LBW, but Shane Watson got a thin inside edge onto the pads. It nipped back in and seemed to strike Watto in line, but the edge saved him

30.1

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, first ball is a wasted one, fired down the leg side, Shane Watson can't connect with the flick

Fidel Edwards [7.0-1-27-0] is back into the attack

Sammy keeps going on and on. Today's work from Sammy - 10-5-14-2. He has bowled unchanged from one end. As Tony Cozier on air points out, there has been a lot of vicious criticism about Sammy every time he steps on to the field for WI, but he just keeps going on, doing his job. A wholehearted performer if ever there was one. Tony points out that it is a crucial series for Sammy and he has certainly done a great job so far. Meanwhile, Sammy takes a break after that marathon spell and Edwards is back at his end, with a couple of slips in place.

Drinks are on the field now.

29.6

Devendra Bishoo to Michael Clarke, no run, shouts of 'catch', but short of point. Michael Clarke rocking back to cut and almost hitting it straight to the fielder

29.2

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, SIX, that looked like it was going straight up in the air, but Shane Watson has mishit that over long on for a six. Went back to pull and didn't time it all, but the ball kept on going and went all the way. Sammy can't believe that it has gone for a biggie

29.1

Devendra Bishoo to Shane Watson, no run, shortish outside off, Shane Watson should have put that away, cut hard, but straight to the fielder at cover

Devendra Bishoo [1.0-0-8-0] is back into the attack

28.3

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, 1 run, down leg, Michael Clarke uses the pace of Fidel Edwards and glances it to fine leg

27.4

25.5

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, Shane Watson defends the short of length delivery on the stumps to cover

25.4

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, takes the short one outside off and goes for the pull, hits off the toe end and he finds mid wicket. Certainly a boundary ball, but Watto couldn't time it at all

25.2

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, 1 run, angling in, Michael Clarke shuffles across and tucks it to deep backward to get off the mark

25.1

Fidel Edwards to Michael Clarke, no run, back and across before solidly defending it back down the track

Ponting has already changed into his training gear. He certainly looks grumpy. That famous #Pontingface on display. He is chuntering away to someone in the dressing room and walks in. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that Aussie dressing room at the moment. Certainly a few of the Aussies would be echoing my opinion.

24.6

Sammy to Shane Watson, 2 runs, another nicely timed flick, taking it from middle and leg, flicked wide of square leg. A brace for Shane Watson as Roach has quite a bit of distance to cover

24.4

Sammy to Shane Watson, no run, full outside off, left alone

24.3

Sammy to Shane Watson, no run, gets forward and drives to cover

Ponting run-out: Replays show that Brathwaite slid and picked it up and sent in a fine throw. Shane Watson was halfway down looking for the 2nd and Ponting didn't dive. If the throw had gone to Shane Watson's end, he could've been out as well. Ponting stared at Watto, before trudging off. Watto realised he had made an error and went on his knees to repent his error in judgement.

24.2

Sammy to Shane Watson, no run, gets forward and defends it back to Sammy

24.1

Sammy to Shane Watson, 2 runs, full and sliding down leg, flicked behind square, easy couple this time

Michael Clarke, right handed bat, comes to the crease

23.6

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, out Ponting Run Out!! 1 run completed. Australia certainly didn't want that. A total mixup. It was played behind square, Shane Watson completed the single and wanted the 2nd, but realised that Brathwaite had the ball in his grasp so sent Ponting back, Ponting had already taken a few steps out, the throw was perfect to the keeper and he did the rest. Ponting shakes his head and walks off. An unexpected wicket for WI, but they will take it. Ponting run out (Kraigg Brathwaite/Baugh) 4(13) [4s-1]

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

What has happened here? Ponting could be run-out and he is. What a waste of a wicket. A gifted wicket.

23.5

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, full and on off, Shane Watson blocks of the frontfoot

23.4

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, FOUR, this is a much better shot. On the rise, hit on the up. Just a nice stride forward, then punches the drive hard into the ground, wide of cover. Mid off gave chase, but had no chance of pulling it back. Shane Watson has started to get his eye in and that shot should give him a lot of confidence

23.3

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, tight delivery on off stump, forcing Shane Watson on the backfoot, he defends

23.2

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, FOUR, crunchy munchy cover drive. Not there for the driving range, but Shane Watson confidently strides forward and drives crisply past cover. Wide of mid off as well. Brilliant timing on that

Shane Watson stops Fidel Edwards as he pulls out

23.1

Fidel Edwards to Shane Watson, no run, starts off with a tight delivery on off stump, Shane Watson stays in the crease and defends to point

Fidel Edwards [4.0-1-14-0] is back into the attack

Sammy to Ponting, no run, full and outside off, Ponting drives and finds cover, who makes a diving stop

22.1

Sammy to Shane Watson, 1 run, shuffles across and tucks it wide of square leg, easy single

21.6

Roach to Ponting, FOUR, RT Ponting is away. Can't bowl short to him, especially if you bowl well down leg, put away with a swivel and then a thumping pull fine of fine leg. The ball thuds into the ad hoardings. Really hit it well. Could be the end of Roach for a while. A big spell and he certainly did his job.

21.5

Roach to Ponting, no run, 3 in a row. But all ill-directed. Fires it in down leg, Ponting half ducks and lets it go. The line has to be perfect if Roach is going to bowl short

21.4

Roach to Ponting, no run, high bouncer, another easy leave for Ponting. Roach has to get the short one on target

21.3

Roach to Ponting, no run, short and doesn't bounce at all, down leg, easy leave

This could be a brilliant little session of play. Ponting v Roach. Remember Perth? Roach started Ponting's decline with a memorable spell at the WACA. Short stuff again? Yes it looks like it. Sammy has given Roach the field to bowl short to Ponting. A deep backward square for the pull/hook. A short leg is in place as well.

21.2

Roach to Shane Watson, 1 run, angling in to middle and leg, Shane Watson whips it wide of mid on to get Ponting on strike

21.1

Roach to Shane Watson, FOUR, fab stroke! Just a half step forward and then times the off drive beating an unorthodox mid off who is standing in more of a straightish cover position. Didn't try to hit that at all, relied on timing and the ball raced away. The extra pace of Roach helping him as well that time

20.6

Sammy to Ponting, no run, the stumps at Shane Watson's end denies Ponting his boundary. Lovely straight drive, but it is too straight and it shatters the leg stump at the other end. Watson was quick to get back as well, though Sammy didn't get a touch on it

20.5

Sammy to Ponting, no run, angling in from over the wicket, Ponting gets back and punches it to Rampaul who is subbing for someone at mid on

20.4

Sammy to Ponting, no run, back and across before solidly defending it back to the bowler

Couple of slips, a short leg in place for RT Ponting. Might well be his last tour of the Caribbean.

20.3

Sammy to Ponting, no run, Ponting confidently defends his first ball off the backfoot

Ricky Ponting, right handed bat, comes to the crease

That wicket means the players will take drinks. Remember that this is an extended session so a drinks break every 50 minutes. There will be a couple of ones.

20.2

Sammy to Warner, out Caught by Darren Bravo!! They are checking for the no-ball, but Sammy is fine. Just reward for Sammy and West Indies. Warner had played and missed many times today and finally perishes. Full and going away with the angle, Warner drove well away from the body and an easy catch to 2nd slip. Sammy exults and WI have their 2nd wicket. Warner c Darren Bravo b Sammy 42(55) [4s-5]

Sammy to Warner, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

20.1

Sammy to Warner, no run, teasing probing line and length outside off from Sammy, Warner lets it go

19.6

19.4

Roach to Warner, no run, full and outside off, the sucker ball, Warner was lured into the drive and was beaten. So close to the outside edge. Roach has bowled really well today without any luck

19.3

Roach to Warner, no run, Warner thinks about playing that outside off ball, then withdraws his bat at the last moment, leaves it

19.2

Roach to Warner, no run, nips back in from outside off, Warner gets his front leg out to cover the swing and then lets it go

19.1

Roach to Warner, no run, once again the ball hits a footmark and keeps low, Warner was committed to the cover drive and the ball shot through to beat him. Baugh did well to take it cleanly

18.5

Sammy to Warner, no run, Warner goes deep into his crease and then defends with an open face towards backward point

17.6

Roach to Shane Watson, no run, on the backfoot and defending

17.5

Roach to Shane Watson, no run, a stifled shout for LBW, but Shane Watson was hit high on the pad. Roach appealed, but just didn't look right. Replays show that it was just about clipping the top of the stumps. Anyway it wouldn't have been reversed even if they had gone for a review. Wait, I may be wrong here - the ball projection shows more than half the ball was hitting top of leg - so the decision would've been reversed. My apologies for getting that wrong.

17.4

Roach to Warner, 1 run, punched square of the wicket and this time there is only a single as Bishoo is quick to get across to cut it off

17.3

Roach to Warner, 2 runs, full and outside off, Warner cover drives wide of Bishoo at sweeper cover. Shane Watson runs hard and makes it back for the easy 2nd

17.2

Roach to Warner, no run, not so short for the cut, Warner is cramped for room and mistimes the cut towards the off side. So the last couple of balls has troubled Warner

17.1

Roach to Warner, no run, that took off from a disconcerting length, bounced extra and Warner was surprised by the extra bounce, tried to punch through the off side, was comprehensively beaten

16.6

Sammy to Shane Watson, no run, full and just outside off, punched back to the bowler

Sammy to Shane Watson, no run, excellent bowling from Sammy and a poor leave from Watson. This one pitched outside off and nipped back in, Shane Watson covered the line of his stumps and looked to leave it, the ball shapes back in and hits him flush on the pads just outside off. The ball was going on to clip the outer half of the off-stump. The original decision was NOT-OUT and it stays. Umpire Gould gets this one right and WI lose a review

Sammy has asked for a review for an LBW decision against Watson. He was not playing a shot, this looks very close. On-field call, Watson survives

16.3

Sammy to Shane Watson, no run, fuller length delivery outside off and curving back in, left alone

16.2

Sammy to Shane Watson, no run, loud appeal for LBW, the impact seemed to be outside off and the height was an issue as well.

14.4

Pitch Report: The clouds are a bit darker today and hopefully it will not turn out to be a factor. The pitch is becoming harder and harder, the foot-marks have not gone any deeper. There are some ball marks on the wicket but there is no indentations. It is a very good pitch to bat on and the bowlers will have to work very hard to take wickets, reckons Geoff Lawson.

Shiv Chanderpaul: This ton is right there with the rest. Scoring a century against Australia is very special. I have belief and trust in the tail-enders, that helped me to get the job done. You must trust the tail-enders to do a job. As a cricketer, it is nice to get past some records but I dont have any records in my mind. I am happy to have survived 19 years in international cricket. Hopefully, I have another couple of years of international cricket in me.

Shiv Chanderpaul was the cornerstone in West Indies scoring a mammoth 449/9 decl in the first innings. Everyone chipped around him as Sammy's men set themselves an imposing total. The openers have started brightly enough for Australia as they went to stumps without any loss. Hello, and a warm welcome to one and all to Day 3 of the 1st Test from the Kensington Oval at Barbados.

That brings us to an end of day 2. We will be back at 9:30 local (1900 IST) to bring you all the action. Until then this is Pradeep signing off on behalf of Sathya. Have a good time. Bye.

Good to see this: Just after the day's play ended, Watson came down and checked on Sammy to see whether he was doing fine, after the latter got a blow on his helmet while batting. That's how cricket should be played - hard, but fair. Sammy has a smile and seems to signal that he is Ok.

The Aussies didn't bowl well to Chanders - too many balls were easily left alone and Clarke didn't attack enough with the 2nd new ball. Full credit to Chanders who displayed his usual grit and determination to grind the visitors. Sammy played a brilliant cameo and though he was struck on the head responded with the shot of the day - a straight six and then held the pose in true Calypso fashion. That brought the crowd to life and enlivened proceedings.

The umpires have decided that is enough and that will be stumps on day 2. They reckon that the light isn't good enough to continue and so they take the players off. A good little mini session for the Aussies, though they played loosely many times. Earlier on in the day, it was all about Chanderpaul - he became the highest run-getter at the Kensington Oval in terms of test runs and then survived a few anxious moments as Bishoo the last man came in when he was in the nineties. Soon he got his 25th test ton and West Indies declared soon after.

4.2

Mohandas Menon tweets: S Chanderpaul 81st 50+ score in Tests. Just one short of the West Indian record of 82 50+ scores held by Brian Lara

It has been an action packed session of play. 112/2 in the session for West Indies. Darren Bravo scored a fifty and as per the pattern of the match fell soon afterwards, Deonarine looked vey positive but fell just before lunch. Shiv Chanderpaul has looked like a rock and completed his 57th Test fifty. Both teams will be reasonably happy with the way the session unfolded. Join us at 12:35 local time (22:05 IST) for the re-start.

The drizzle has returned and the players hurry for the comforts of the dressing room. I presume it might well be lunch as well.

Pitch Report: There are a few clouds overhead and there was some rain in the morning. There are some foot-marks that are scarring which is pretty unusual for a second day pitch. The spots will assist the bowlers in particular. Thre pitch is still hard and dry. It is still a decent surface to bat on but the spinners will come into the equation as the match wears on.

Kraigg Brathwaite: It was nice batting with Kirk. He played his shots and my role was to play the support role. The pitch is pretty good, not much assistance for the bowlers once the ball got soft and old. The pitch in Trinidad has some ridges but this pitch is pretty flat. I know my role pretty well in the batting order well.

Kirk Edwards: It was a nice experience to play in front of my home-crowd. Young Kraigg batted very well and took off all the pressure from me. He did his job pretty well. We play well as a pair and it was nice to build a partnership. We will look for a score around 400-450.

It is day 2 at the Kensington Oval and West Indies will look to build on from the solid platform set up by Kraigg Brathwaite and Kirk Edwards. Australia were generous with their catching as they let slip three opportunities. Hello, and a warm welcome to one and all as the action continues at Barbados.

A good day if you are a Windies supporter. Kraigg Brathwaite and Kirk Edwards made fifties to lay the platform for a big first innings score. Australia did not help matters by their butter fingered catching. They did get rid of both of them though and have not allowed the game to drift away. Bravo and Chanderpaul are in the middle and the hosts will look forward to a profitable second day. Join us for all the action tomorrow. For now, this is Pradeep signing off. Cheers and bye..

It is official now. Rain has had the final say for the day. Play will begin half an hour early tomorrow ie at 9:30 local time (19:00 IST).

Cricket Australia has tweeted that play has been called off for the day. We are awaiting the official confirmation.

Digicel Cricket Tweets: No sign of life on the field at #KensingtonOval Still raining and it's getting darker

Digicel Cricket tweets: Not sure if we'll see any more play today. Wi hope so. Chanderpaul and Bravo were building a nice partnership

Oh Dear. The rain which was threatening all along has finally made a visit to the Kensington Oval,. The pitch has been covered and more covers are on the anvil. One hopes that it will be just a passing shower.

The openers are out in the middle and we are all set for the 1st Test of the West Indies summer

Clarke: I would have batted first as well. There will be hopefully some good bounce on this surface. Pattinson will be our 12th man today. West Indies are a very good team and we would need to be at our best to beat them.

Sammy: It looks like a batting pitch. We need to see of the new ball, there are plenty of runs on this surface. Ravi and Kieran have been left out. Ravi is not completely fit and that is the reason we went in with Roach and Edwards. The selected bowlers have done a good job and will look to continue with their form. We will take confidence from the T20 match which we won here.

Pitch Report: There is absolutely no grass on the surface, a typical Kensington Oval track. The pitch is very hard, there will be some good bounce. Plenty of runs on the pitch, the bowlers will have a tough day under the hot sun. It is a bat first wicket, reckons Geoff Lawson.

Digicel Cricket again with some team news on twitter, though we will wait for official confirmation: AUS Team: Clarke, Watson, Cowan, Harris, Hilfenhaus, M Hussy, Lyon, Ponting, Pattinson, Siddle, Wade and Warner. WI team info soon come!

ODI series result: 2-2. T20I series result: 1-1. What will the test series result be? After two closely fought series' West Indies and Australia are all set to do battle in the longer format of the game. Hello and a warm welcome to the opening test match of this 4 match series at Bridgetown, Barbados. The good news for Australia is that Michael Clarke is back and will be captaining the side. They have a decision to make between Ryan Harris and James Pattinson, while it will be interesting to see what line-up West Indies go with. Do stay tuned for the toss and the teams.
